dhanners623 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 A month or so ago a pal of mine in St. Paul told me about a shooting at a liquor store just a couple of doors down from his house. Some guy went in and grabbed a six-pack of Modelo and ran out. The clerk chased him and the shoplifter turned and shot him. Thankfully, the clerk survived. My buddy knew all this because the cops noticed his doorbell camera and wondered if it captured the thief; it did. The guy had parked right in front of my buddy’s house. I pulled out the J-35 and turned the story into, “Mexico’s Finest Beer.” (Although when I drank, if I wanted a Mexican beer, I’d go with Tecate….)

RvrDxn Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Shooting someone over a 6-pack? That’s a special kind of stupid. Great song by the way. Something about it made me picture Townes Van Zandt singing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhanners623 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thanks. It has been ages since I had a Modelo so I thankfully have no recollection of the taste. It may have been the brand of beer nearest the door and therefore easiest to grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Well done. Best Mexican beer? Negro Modelo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 No hat this time around, David. Major image change! 😀 Very good song. I like the steady, smooth rhythm and the lyrics. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Paul Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Like this one a lot David. I am stunned by how much this sounds like it could have been a Terry Allen song ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSoxBiker Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Another good one, David! Good all the way around. I especially dig the approach with the tltle and lyrics used to support it. Top notch! On a side, there's been a few nice originals lately. Three on the opening page ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Thanks. Ray Wylie has been an inspiration since the early ‘80s. Used to listen to him on KNON in Dallas. If you have any connections to Ray, feel free to drop my name….
